PHUMELELA MEDIA RELEASE
SUBJECT: TAB makes it easier for SA punters to bet on Aussie Quaddie (Jackpot)
DATE: Saturday 21 March 2020
RELEASED BY: Phumelela Gaming
South African punters have really taken a fancy to the commingled Aussie pools offered on selected Australian meetings daily – especially the Quaddie (Jackpot), where pools are often in excess of R20-million.
But due to the time difference between Australia and South Africa, betting on most Australian races was restricted to online customers.
Well, the good news is that this has changed.
Going forward, betting on Australian races will open the day before the race meeting, making it possible for TAB’s in-store customers to also place their bets on these highly profitable race meetings.
The vast majority of such thoroughbred race meetings are run in the afternoon in Australia and Jackpot pools generally close from 06.30 to 07:30 South African time.
TAB also operates commingled Jackpot pools on a selected Australian harness meetings daily.
Most harness meetings in Australia are run at night and Jackpots on such meetings normally close from 11:00 onwards South African time.
Racecards for the Australian meetings will also be available free of charge in-store at all TAB and Betting World shops as well as online at
www.tabonline.co.za
the day before a race meeting, giving punters ample opportunity to make their selections.
